The Governor's Son Chapter 84
ATTORNEY BARBIE steps outside her office in Manila and goes to the lobby where the farmers are looking for her presence. She smiles at them as Jack Dela Cruz with her wife walk with Barbie in a silent aisle.
Upon opening the office door, Jack is startled when Don Angelito is inside, uncomplainingly waiting for their presence. Even Sonia was surprised when she saw the handsome young Don at the office table.
Angelito smiles at them. "Shall we start?"
Jack and Sonia sat down on the soft couch provided by Attorney Barbie inside her office. Angelito is mute as the atmosphere suddenly goes hefty for his heart.
He keeps on thinking about Denver's reaction since he knew about the situation, and Denver keeps on verifying if he gives them land because all of the ideas and cultivation came from them.
"Don Angelito… I never thought you would be so handsome. Do you already have a girlfriend?" Jack asked
The Governor’s Son Chapter 85LATER IN THE AFTERNOON, Denver finishes his last class; however, it’s still early to go home. Roy suggested, “let’s go somewhere?”Cher raised a brow. “Where is it? It’s hot. Let’s do our assignment first—““Gosh! You’re no fun! Come on! Let’s go to the world of fun in SM,” Denver’s eyes broaden because he wants to play something childish this time after all the stress in their department activities.Cher waved a taxi as they all went inside and waited for the taxi to drop them in the mall. As usual, Roy paid for their fare because Denver was not grabbing his wallet.They go to the entertainment area as Cher buys coins for the claw machine. Denver picks up the toy gun and plays a virtual shooting game while Roy is at the Indiana Jones machine.Denver is so focus on shooting the enemies as if he is holding an a
The Governor’s Son Chapter 86DON ANGELITO MARQUEZ opens his briefcase as he gets the pile of papers inside. Denver is silently waiting for him to explain since he’s facial reaction is elated.Typically, when Angelito opens his briefcase; his face is so strain because the workloads need to be finished before midnight. He sometimes stares at his laptop until three in the morning.“What is it, Angel?” Denver inquisitively asked, trying to have a quick glance. Moreover, Angelito showed two signatures at the bottom part. The names sound acquainted in his mind. His boyfriend is mute for a minute until Denver decides to read the content.In less than five minutes, his forehead creases and blinks many times before looking at Angelito’s cocky smile.“No way…. For real?! Y-You’re giving them a hacienda?”Angelito nods in agreement to his question. Denver covers his gawking mouth in
The Governor’s Son Chapter 87KNOCKING THRICE on the door of his department Dean, Denver hears her voice calling for him to come inside. He holds the pile of papers that his major professor gives to him.“Good morning, Dean. Mr Alejandro told me to give you this pile of papers, ma’am.”“Oh, please put it on the table beside the door, son.” Denver unhurriedly puts the pile of papers on the white table like her instruction. He bowed before holding the doorknob; however, the Dean calls him.Denver looks back with a smile. “Yes, ma’am?”She opens her cabinet and grabs a paper. “I am so busy this hour. Can you please deliver this to Instructor Alexandre Buenavista in the Law Department?” Even uncertain in his answer, Denver shuts his mouth and gets the paper. This is for a meeting, and Denver goes out.He breathes deeply since Angelito forbade him to see the prosecuto
The Governor’s Son Chapter 88THE TAXI dropped Denver in his place in Valenzuela as he got a text message from Angelito.[I will not be home tonight because I need to fix something again, cutie.]His fingers dance on his phone screen’s keyboard as he replies to his SMS.[Copy. Keep safe.]Denver opens the gate and their home. What was left are his mother’s belongings as he goes to his room and gets his father’s picture. It’s the same photograph like what Alexandre had. For a moment, he placed it inside the box he kept for ages.He dials his Mama’s number as it rings for couple of seconds. Fortunately, Maxine is at the locker room, preparing for his next duty.“Hello, son. Why did you suddenly call?” She’s in a little hurry, but Denver can’t say a word after hearing her voice on the line.“Ma. How are you?” That was the question only asked as M
The Governor’s Son Chapter 89“WHAT I TOLD YOU before Angelito? Don’t test your father’s patience,” Attorney Barbie kept on reminding him about this disownment paper. No trouble can cause him to file.Angelito uncomplainingly waits for his father to arrive since he excuses himself in today’s classes. On the other hand, Dennis and Sunshine are looking at him at the other side of the office.“Don, this is a bad idea….” Sunshine said as she kept on fidgeting her fingers. Dennis is silent—looking in his eyes. Angelito made a wrong move because Don Pablo caught him, giving the land to the farmers.“Angelito…. Your father will be here in a minute,” Barbie reminded him as Dennis gulped and spoke. “Angel… this will cause a ruckus. You should keep all hidden—“Dennis immediately halted his words because Don Pablo opened the glass door in hi
The Governor’s Son Chapter 90Going inside the apartment unit, Denver was still perplexed about what in the world they were arguing inside the office. Angelito didn’t say a word to him—except his tight grip on his shoulder.Denver cannot underestimate his curiosity like a wind whistling and tries to enter the smallest hole in a sliding window. He sat on the couch and looked at Angelito’s tensed grey eyes.“Angel… I’m scared of what you did to your father. He’s so upset, yet your face was reluctant to listen in his words.”Angelito leans his two hands on the wall and starts to throw slow and light punches. “Denver, if I tell you. I want to be independent and file a disownment paper to be with you? Will you believe in every word I say?”Denver’s nerves tingle in his inquiry. This is a rare sight that Angelito is apprehensive and desperate to hear a response. Denver
The Governor's Son Chapter 91“Por pabor, Gobernador Pablo!” Attorney Barbie says forcefully to his boss when he is still angry and wants to summon Angelito again with Denver."Are they still living at that apartment with Diana?"She nods in Don Pablo's question because Barbie cannot do something to protect the Don."Look what you've done, Barbie!" Dob Pablo throws his mug to the glass door as the whole door shatters into pieces, scattering on the floor.The employees panic in cleaning all the shards. She becomes wordless in front of Don Pablo. He gets the document that Angelito puts on the table."Look at this! You're making his head around! Why did you create these papers against me?!""D-Don Pablo… Angelito is eager to go outside the country and resides in Espanya with Denver. I didn't know his valid reasons, b-but he requested this months ago after the holiday."Don Pablo sits on the swivel
The Governor’s Son Chapter 92THE DAY before they transfer to a more luxurious condominium in Quezon City, Denver cannot hide his nervousness in what Angelito’s lies again.Moreover, what prosecutor Alexandre said to him kept reminding him of the hammer he hid under the cabinet.“Denver!” Roy shouts at him as he gets back to his primary senses.“Huh?!” he reacts in Roy’s awakening. Since morning, his friend has looked flatly at him since he has been like this.“Are you fine?” Cher holds his cold hand. Denver sighed when he heard her overwhelming concern.“Not so fine….”Roy instantly asked him for a valid reason. “Our project had been passed, so you don’t need to worry about it.”Cher looks at Roy as she smiles in agreeing to his notion. Nonetheless, it’s not Denver’s problem.“We will move tomorrow&
The Governor’s Son Chapter 108THERE ARE S0 MANY law students who are waiting for the bar examination result outside the Supreme Court. They go at the bustling people—trying to have a spot in front of the massive LED television. Even it’s only nine in the morning, the weather is so hot as their bodies are sweaty. Especially Angelito, Dennis and Sunshine feel like their throat is dry with the sweating hands, back and forehead.They are praying so hard for their name to appear on the screen. A little while longer, when they are waiting, a representative goes to it as he advances his congratulation to them for trying their best. The law examination is one of the Philippines’ most challenging exams to pass.Denver holds Angelito’s hand under the bustling crowd. Angelito looks at him with an uneasy look on his face. “I know you will make it,” said Denver.“Thank you, cutie.” The students and o
The Governor’s Son Chapter 107TWO YEARS LATERAngelito goes inside his car with a broad smile drawn on his face. A bouquet of roses caught his attention when he closed the door.“Congratulations,” Denver proudly congratulates him for graduating as a cum laude in law. Angelito cannot hide his happiness when he touches the flowers.“Well, thank you for this, cutie….” Angelito says with a blushing face. Two years had passed, and the love remained strong and getting stronger every day. Angelito sees his stepmother on the other side of the road from a distance.Denver doesn’t notice it, but he sees his boyfriend’s saddened reaction. He is worried something is bothering him on his special day.“Is there any problem?”“Nothing… do you want to go with me?” Angelito asked as Denver willingly went with him.They didn’t walk
The Governor's Son Chapter 106DENVER SAT AT THE living room with an American breakfast on his tray. He gets the remote underneath the sofa as he turns on the television. His head is dizzy from the final requirements his professors ask before the end of the school year.The last thing he can do is watch the local news in the morning. However, when Denver bites his wheat bread with jam. His jaw stops munching when Don Pablo appears on the news."Don Pablo Marquez, the governor of Aklan, had been pleaded not guilty by the court in the slander and arson case that was filed by the previous hacienda workers. This also states that the real culprit behind the arson was Jayson Enriquez. Thirty-one years old and now hold by the custody as he will face forty-years in prison because of the death of Alfred Fronda Nervar back in twenty-fifteen."Denver accidentally dropped the bread as his tears fell when he saw Don Pablo eluded in his case. On the other
The Governor’s Son Chapter 105ANGELITO IS STILL PERPLEXED about everything in his life. When he comes back to Manila with his grandparents and Denver. He can still feel the weight of yesterday.Don Pedro and Donya Lilia need to go back to Spain two days from now. Denver also can’t react to what happened; luckily, there is Maxine to help them recover.“We will leave you here, Angelito. I have a trust to Denver and your other friends, as we agree to the protection that you have under the file disownment… your father cannot talk to you unless you are graduate in your Juris Doctor.”From what he can see, Angelito will now face the world alone.“I trust Denver to be your company, Angelito,” Don Pedro pleaded with confidence. The wounds are profound to heal over time.“Angelito, you are now at the age to know what is wrong or right. I appreciated your courage to stand on your ow
The Governor’s Son Chapter 104DON ALFONSO’s calculation that they will be anchored in the late afternoon goes successfully. Denver is nervous when the service van stops in their front. The true challenge will come ahead of them.He looks at Angelito’s calm face. On the other hand, Angelito can feel his lips tremble in fear when he realizes how mad his father will get.Donya Lilia and Don Pedro are silent at the back while waiting for an hour trip to the mansion.“Angelito, whatever happens, you will continue your studies here in the Philippines,” Don Pedro stated amidst the silence. Angelito is confused about everything as he looks at Donya Lilia.“Angelito, you will still study here in the Philippines. We’re afraid that you and Denver will heavily adjust in Espanya,” Donya Lilia supported her husband’s notion. Angelito is helpless when the decisions are not from him anymore.
The Governor’s Son Chapter 103IT TOOK ANGELITO ALMOST A WEEK before he can finally rest his mind. With the help of his grandparents, Maxine and Denver. He realizes how important those people are in his life.His uncle’s mansion is silent, and when he goes to the dining area, Denver is doing his projects for his major and minor subjects. Angelito cannot help to smile as he goes to him.He landed a kiss on his fragrant hair. “Good morning, cutie….”“Granda Lilia said you need to eat your dinner before we go to Aklan,” Denver said as Angelito sat down at the table area. He keeps on observing Denver since they are the only ones inside.“Angel….” He calls him, and he immediately pours his attention.“What is it?” Angelito replied.He can feel Denver’s heavy sighs as he stops writing.“Thank you,” two words, but the impact to An
The Governor’s Son Chapter 102THE CLANKING sound of metals only gives them a sense of reality. What they see in front of their eyes are unrealistic.“ANGEL!” Denver cries to him as he slowly crawls to him.“Angel…. Don’t do it!”However, Angelito remains standing while watching his father.“I only wish to leave in peace with Denver. I do everything you want until this tiring point of my life, Papá. You shouldn’t have threatened Denver’s life—““ANGELITO!” Don Pablo’s voice thunderously echoes all over the place. His eyes burn with anger and compassion towards his son.“I want to die… I want you to carry this burden. I only asked for love. I only ask for the attention that you never gave to me. All of that… I feel it all in Denver’s arms.”Barbie tries to calm her heart and Diana, which
The Governor's Son Chapter 101 EARLIER IN THE AFTERNOON, when Denver waves goodbye to Cher and Roy, he waits for a taxi outside the campus. His eyes are on his phone screen about prosecutor Alexandre's instructions. From: Mama [Denver, you should be careful right now. My boss told me I am now under special protection.] To: Mama [Don't worry about me, Ma. My special protection is now rolling, and any time next week, I can have it.] A little longer, his mother replied. From: Mama [Please double-check your lock and commute so many people will see you outside.] Denver sighed as he turned off his phone. A little longer when a taxi stops in his front. "San ka? (Where will you go?)," The driver asked him as Denver nibbled on his lower lip before opening the passenger seat. "Valenzuela, sir," he answered honestly as the driver looked at his phone's screen. Without any words, the taxi goes,
The Governor’s Son Chapter 100DAYS seemed dark for Denver after their conversation that night. He never heard anything regarding Angelito because even Sunshine and Dennis could not approach him.Going past the office of prosecutor Alexandre, Denver goes inside as usual. He’s been like this for a month, and nothing can stop him now—not even Angelito can change his mind.“Have a seat,” Alexandre said with compassion towards him. He can feel Denver’s loneliness through his eyes as he can’t deny the fact that he is still struggling to keep the pace of his schedule in his adjustments.Denver sat on the couch as the prosecutor put the waiver since Denver is now legal age. He can freely do what he wants to himself.“I asked your Mama, and she said… the decision will always be yours. I set up protection for you against Don Pablo’s threat. However, I cannot reassure if that will be
